As soon as Qin Hui arrived at the mansion, he met his wife's motorcade at the gate. Mrs. Wang was riding in a large and gorgeous carriage, with dozens of guards with swords in front and behind to clear the way and protect her.
On the other hand, Qin Hui himself was not very arrogant. He rode in an ordinary carriage and had few followers. After all, he was the prime minister, and he had to be honest and frugal on the surface.
"Where did the lady come back from?" Qin Hui asked as he opened the car curtain.
Wang pointed upward, telling Qin Hui that she had just returned from the Queen Mother.
Qin Hui said quickly: "I have something urgent to do with my wife. Please come with me to the study."
"Wait until I change my clothes."
"No need to change, I'm afraid I still have to go out."
Wang frowned slightly, why are you so anxious?
When Wang came to her husband's study, Qin Hui didn't have time to drink tea, so he asked her: "Does the Queen Mother know the results of Chen Qing's attack on Fengxiang?"
Wang nodded, "She heard about it and was a little unhappy."
"Is she afraid that Chen Qing will be promoted again?"
Mrs. Wang walked to the door of the outhouse, looked both ways, closed the door, and then came back and said to her husband: "On the surface, she doesn't want Chen Qing to be promoted again, but I know that she is unhappy because of another thing.
"
"What's up?"
"I heard that Chen Qing captured Wanyan and Lisa's family, so she said this. She said that some women don't love themselves and are willing to serve Jurchens. There is no need for such women to come back. You know what she means.
?"
Qin Hui frowned slightly, "Does she not want these women to come back?"
Mrs. Wang nodded, "Of course she doesn't want these women to come back. They know too much. She forced Queen Mother Zheng to almost become a monk. Zhao Shaner got married soon after she came back. You can't think of the reason?"
Qin Hui understood that she would never allow the people of the Song Dynasty to know about some of the things Empress Wei did in the Jin Kingdom. These women would be spread out after they came back.
"If she is worried about this, it's not a big problem. The officials asked me to send someone to Qinzhou to arrange for them. I can arrange for them to stay in Bashu, so they don't have to go back to Lin'an."
"It's best this way, even if I'm doing her a big favor."
Qin Hui said quickly: "This is a small matter. There is another big matter. You have to go see the Queen Mother immediately. Zhang Jun suggested appointing Zhu Shengfei as the Lingnan Propaganda Envoy. This afternoon, the Zhizheng Hall has passed it and the vote has been handed over to the officials. If
Once the official approves it, the decree must be issued, and then it will be too late to reverse it."
Wang frowned and said, "My husband is the Right Prime Minister, can't I just veto it?"
"I can directly veto the plan proposed by the officials below, but this is the plan proposed by Zhang Jun, so I cannot veto the plan proposed by the Prime Minister. I can only vote in the Zhizhengtang. You know that Zhao Ding supports him, and Li Hui is a good man.
, but the Zhizhengtang passed it, what should I do?”
Although Qin Hui doesn't like Zhu Shengfei, he is too passive now to stand alone in Zhizhengtang. Zhu Shengfei is Zhang Jun's political opponent. If he can enter Zhengshitang, then the vote will be two to two. At this time, the emperor is needed
To make a decision, the emperor must also like this ending.
"Hurry and go to the Queen Mother. You must ask the Queen Mother to stop the official approval!"
Wang nodded, "I'll go back now!"
In fact, Qin Hui was overly worried. Zhu Shengfei was Empress Dowager Wei's confidant. Once Zhu Shengfei became the prime minister, the Empress Dowager's Party was formed.
This is of course also the arrangement of the emperor Zhao Gou. As the emperor, his emperor's skill is to control various factions, instigate fights between factions, support one faction to attack another faction, and finally come out to be a good person.
He didn't care at all about the emergence of another Queen Mother Party. He even pushed for its formation. And as long as the Queen Mother became her own force, she wouldn't have to oppress herself every time and make herself passive.
In other words, it is not impossible for the Queen Mother to participate in the power game, but she must incorporate the rules and let her followers realize her will to power, so that she can get rid of her oppression.
Therefore, Zhang Jun proposed that Zhu Shengfei should be transferred to Lingnan as a propaganda envoy. Zhao Gou would definitely not agree. He crossed out this one with a red pen, and he could consider the other ones.
In fact, Zhao Gou didn't care much about the appointment of Chen Qing as the military governor of Xihe Road. He had agreed to this long ago. Before Chen Qing had made any meritorious service, he was ready to appoint Chen Qing as the deputy military governor of Guangnan West Road.
The jurisdiction of Helu Jieduzhi is much smaller than that of Guangnan West Road.
What's more, Xihe Road is still in the hands of Jin Bing. This appointment is actually a favor. If Chen Qing can regain Xihe Road, he is certainly qualified to serve as Jiedushi.
Zhao Gou drew a circle behind the column that Chen Qing was appointed as the governor of Xihe Road and also the governor of Qinzhou Prefecture, expressing his agreement.
Then Wu Jie was appointed as the governor of Lizhou Road and also the governor of Xingyuan Mansion. This appointment allowed Wu Jie to gain real military power and no longer be suppressed by the Xuanfu envoys of Sichuan and Shaanxi like when Zhu Shengfei was in office. This was of great significance to the defense of Hanzhong.
Zhao Gou also recognized this and drew a circle behind it.
After a pause, Zhao Gou added another sentence after Wu Jie's appointment, appointing the supervisor of the army.
Zhao Gou's eyes were focused on Chen Qing's appointment again, and he was hesitating whether to also appoint a supervisory army. Let's wait until he captured Xihe Road! It was not time to appoint a supervisory army now.
Then Lu Fasheng, deputy envoy of the Xuanfu Department of Sichuan and Shaanxi, was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy. Lu Fasheng was promoted by Zhang Jun. Zhao Gou also knew this. Sichuan and Shaanxi were Zhang Jun's sphere of influence. It was natural that someone recommended by Zhang Jun should be appointed as the Xuanfu envoy.
, Zhao Gou thought for a moment, drew a circle behind this line, and expressed his agreement.
The following is the appointment of Liu Ziyu, the prefect of Xingyuan. Liu Ziyu was appointed as the governor of Jingxiang and Xiangyang Prefecture, with jurisdiction over Jinzhou, Fangzhou, Dengzhou, Xiangyang Prefecture, Tangzhou, Suizhou, Yingzhou, Guizhou, Xiazhou, and Fuzhou.
Waiting for the place actually means letting Liu Ziyu guard Jingxiang.
This appointment somewhat conflicts with Li Gang's Huguang Propaganda Envoy.
Moreover, Liu Ziyu was also a member of Zhang Jun. He had already agreed with Lu Fasheng to be the envoy of Xuanfu in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and could no longer agree with Liu Ziyu to be the envoy of Jingxiang. This was not conducive to the balance.
Zhao Gou thought for a long time and crossed out Liu Ziyu's Jiedu Envoy and changed it to Dubingma Envoy. This created a situation where Liu Ziyu was in charge of the army and Li Gang was in charge of politics.
Zhao Gou also added at the same time, appointing Zhe Yanzhi as the governor of Dengtangfang Sanzhou Town and knowing the affairs of Dengzhou.
Zhe Yanzhi was Li Gang's confidant. By letting Zhe Yanzhi balance Liu Ziyu, the military and political balance in the Jingxiang region was achieved.
Zhao Gou breathed a sigh of relief and put down his ink pen. At this time, a young eunuch said at the door: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has invited you!"
It was expected that the Queen Mother would find him. Zhao Gou sighed softly, stood up and said, "Go back to the palace!"
"The emperor returns to the palace!"
A eunuch shouted, and Zhao Gou got on the dragon chariot and returned to the inner palace surrounded by a large group of guards.
Queen Mother Wei was still sitting behind the bamboo curtain, her voice was very gentle, "The Ai family heard that Zhu Shengfei committed a crime, and the officials are planning to send him to Lingnan to serve as the Xuanfu envoy. Is this possible?"
Zhao Gou pondered for a long time and said: "After reporting to his mother, this time the Jin soldiers captured Hanzhong, seriously threatening the safety of Bashu. As the commander-in-chief, Zhu Shengfei really needs to take responsibility, so I decided to transfer him away from Sichuan and Shaanxi, but going to Lingnan is not a demotion."
, people are also needed over there.”
"But you promised the Ai family and agreed to Zhu Shengfei's entry into the court as prime minister, why did you change your mind again? Your Majesty, when you named Chen Qing the Duke of Jing, the reason was that the emperor's golden words said that the Ai family respected you and did not object again. Now that you are here with Zhu Shengfei, why?
Have you gone back on your word again?”
Zhao Gou was silent for a long time, and Queen Mother Wei asked again: "What official position are the officials planning to give Chen Qing?"
"My son appointed him as the military envoy of Xihe Road and also to know the affairs of Qinzhou. His official rank was promoted to the fifth level of official official. His civil service and casual officials remained unchanged."
"Is it appropriate for the officials to become a military governor when I am only in my twenties?"
"The Queen Mother does not know that Xihe Road is still in the hands of Jin Bing. This Jiedushi is actually in vain."
"Forget it, the Aijia will not care about Chen Qing's affairs, but Zhu Shengfei must return to Beijing. Guan Jia, you know how important he is to me."
Zhao Gou was waiting for his mother's words. If his mother did not relent on Chen Qing's matter, he would not relent on Zhu Shengfei's matter either.
"Since my son has promised his mother, he will not make a mistake.
Queen Wei stared at her son for a long time, and then she realized that she had been killed by him.
"Aijia is tired, please kneel down and pay your respects!"
"Mother, have a good rest!"
Zhao Gou knelt down and bowed, stood up and left.
At this time, Empress Wei hesitated whether to mention the affairs of the palace concubines, but she still held back and wanted to see how Qin Hui dealt with it first!
